Description:

Recorded live in a small club in 1968, this set was Ten Years After`s commercial breakthrough album. There`s no estimating how many aspiring guitar heroes heard it and immediately wanted to kill themselves.
Leader Alvin Lee`s fleet-fingered fret work, although no big deal by jazz standards, sounded pretty revolutionary in a rock context, and started a school of guitar playing in which speed matters above all other musical considerations which continues to this day. UNDEAD is a good, unpretentious set of mostly uptempo blues jams (the most famous being Ten Years After`s signature "Goin` Home," immortalized in the WOODSTOCK movie). However, there`s no mistaking the period in which it was made--a big clue being a cover of Gershwin`s ultra-melodic "Summertime" that`s primarily a vehicle for a drum solo.
